Clean My TV

Speed up your TV

Your TV came with apps you never asked for. They start with it, run in the background, put ads on the home screen and slow every menu down. Clean My TV switches them off from your iPhone.

What it does

Four jobs, one app

Each one works on its own. Start with a scan: the app gives the TV a score and shows what slows it down.

Clean and speed up

One tap clears app cache and closes apps running in the background. Then turn off the preinstalled apps you don't use, with a cleaning list matched to your TV model.

How it connects

Over your Wi-Fi, nothing in between

Clean My TV talks to the TV directly on your home network, using the TV's own debugging connection. Nothing goes through our servers.

1Turn on network debugging

Once, in the TV's developer options. The in-app guide shows where it is on your model.

2Allow your iPhone

The TV asks once whether to trust this iPhone. Say yes.

3Scan and clean

The app reads the TV, scores it and suggests a clean. You choose what goes.
